Jim DeMint tells Newt Gingrich to get back to being positive (Full AUDIO)

Sen. Jim DeMint, in a radio interview with Laura Ingraham today, said Newt Gingrich's anti-Romney abortion ad in South Carolina isn't "healthy" and hurts the pro-life cause:

Well, believe it or not, it’s the same kind of ad they ran against me when I first ran for Congress. I was not supposedly the conservative in the race. I don’t think that’s healthy right now. I think it's fine to point out people’s records, but the only way we’re going to ever win the battle for life is to convince a lot of people that used to be pro-choice to be pro-life. And so we — I think this idea of condemning people who change their minds is not a good idea for any of us, whether it’s politicians or just the average American, because a lot of Americans have been a part of and been affected by abortion and we need to welcome them to the pro-life movement. I don’t think we can do it with ads like that.
